The status quo is radical

Some people might say that an idea like degrowth is (in a disqualifying way) "radical", but it is the current system that is radical. It is undermining the very basis of everyday life. On a global scale. For (at least) centuries to come. No system or group of people has ever been so close to realizing something so utterly insane. If the path you walk leads to large-scale destruction, it's the "prudent conservatives" who are the irresponsible radical nutcrackers.
